Power Bi Desktop crashes on load "Can not connect to Model"

Ever since the last update or time I have an issue where I can't load the Power Bi desktop without an error "Can not connect to Model" occasionally I would be able to load some files, even ones that had previously crashed. Now I can't load anything... even new blank reports. 

 

Is there some cache or repository I can clear?

 

All of my files can be opened on a different machine.
